We have been discussing this topic for a while in the German Onleihe User Forum, but nobody seems to be able to resolve it.
As it looks right now, everybody with Mac OS X 10.11.2 (or the latest release of Yoseimte aswell) get the same kind of problem when downloading (fulfilling) epub books from the "Onleihe" (which is the provider for eBooks for most of German libraries): Books are downloaded succecssfully (as it seems), the progress bar advances until the end, but then the application just doesn't do anything more. The only option is to forcefully close ADE. This happens both with ADE 2.0 and 4.5, but apparently not with 1.7.2 (which is outdated and cannot be downloaded officially from Adobe anymore).
We dug into what could be the reason for this failing, and ended up with the Mac OS X security update from mid December; after installing this, is seems that the problems started to occur. We are talking about this one:
Even more favoring this as a reason for failing, a Lion system I have here (Mac OS X 10.7.5) still works, with ADE 2.0.67275.
Checking the logs using "console" in Mac OS X, I see the following:

Apparently something fails, hangs, is fenced off by Mac OS X or whatever... Note that there is no security log message from Mac OS X in the logs (I could see at least).
I hope this is resolved soonish; it's really tedious to have to either use an outdated version of ADE, or dust off a real old and slow computer just to be able to fulfill library books.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Best regards, Martin

Hi Martin,
Would you be able to please confirm whether ADE 4.5 works fine for you on the same Mac OS when you download and fulfil eBook from any other library or is it an issue you face irrespective of the eBook source?
I would also request you to test the same by downloading one of the eBooks from the Sample eBook Library | Adobe Digital Editions

Hello Sharad,
I don't have access to any other kinds of fulfillment than the Onleihe, unfortunately, but two different instances of it. The problem is the same for both (which are: Staufen and Freiburg). The sample book (I tried Kafka's "Der Prozeß") worked out without problems.
The Onleihe problems still persist, I just tried it out again.
Best regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Would it be possible for you to test downloading and fulfilling an eBook from Onleihe on a Windows machine using ADE 4.5 to test if you face any issues there as well? This would help us isolate whether this is specific to Mac.

Sharad

Hi Sharad,
It works both on a Window 8.1 machine with ADE 4.5 and a Mac OS X 10.7.5 machne with ADE 2.0. It's just the combination of Mac OS X 10.11.2 with ADE 2.0 and 4.5 which does not work. This is not an issue just on my machine, but seemingly all users of Mac OS X 10.11.2 and ADE 2.0 and 4.5 experience the same thing with the Onleihe. In the Onleihe forum, the current "solution" to this is to use the 1.7.2 ADE version, which is rather unsatisfying, as you can't download it officially from Adobe anymore. With that version, users report the fulfillment working.
Greatly appreciating that you are looking into this!
Best regards,
Martin

Hello Adobe,
it is now 1 1/2 years later, ADE is at version 4.5.4 and this issue is still open. All Onleihe users on 10.11. have this problem as evidenced by various forum posts.
When can a fix be expected???
Thanks,
Stefan

Glad you *bumped* this thread. Did run into the same problem with onleihe on OSX 10.10.5 . Was able to successfully use old Digital Editions version 1.72 as described in this thread. Downloaded from Adobe's knowledge base http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051/attachments/digitaleditions_installer_x86.zip​

Ich hatte das gleiche Problem und bin fündig geworden unter dem nachstehenden Link:
http://www.userforum.onleihe.de/lexicon/index.php/Entry/225-MAC-OS-vs-ADE-vs-Onleihe/
Ich habe dann die "alte" ADE Version 3,08 gelöscht und die Version 1.72 geladen.
Danach konnte ich wieder Bücher auf meinen E-Reader Kobo AURA laden.

Hi,
After reading your post, I was optimistic to try it out.
On my OS X 10.11.3 and I installed ADE using the current ADE installer ADE_4.5_Installer that I just downloaded (dated from Jan 11, 2016). This installer installed ADE 4.5.1.133054. And the problem still remains. Do you have another ADE version?
I have to stay with 1.7.2. That is the only version that currently working for me.
regards, TY

I have the same problem with 10.11.3 and ADE 4.5.1. I tried Version ADE 2 and that did not work either. It also
does not work on the previous OS X version.
I can confirm that it works with ADE 1.7.2

Same problem here and I also could only resolve it with 1.7.2 as well.
This is really poor software quality
